Former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Rtd.), has revealed that he was hospitalized in the same London clinic as the late President Muhammadu Buhari shortly before his death.
Omo, this is deep — two former leaders, one hospital, same critical timing.
In a Monday interview with Channels Television, as monitored by SaharaReporters, Abdulsalami disclosed that he had just been discharged when news broke about Buhari’s passing.
“Unfortunately, we were in the same hospital together, but I have been discharged. So when I heard the news… I quickly went there to condole with the family and see what could be done in order to get the corpse ready to be taken home,” he said.
SaharaReporters had earlier reported that both former presidents were receiving treatment for serious, age-related health complications in the UK, though specific details remained undisclosed.
Omo, this just shows how fragile things can get at that level — power no dey stop aging.
A source within the presidency confirmed that Abdulsalami was battling complications linked to old age, but is now stable.
This revelation has further stirred national reflection on the state of health care and how many of Nigeria’s past leaders often seek treatment abroad.
